WHAT IS NOODLE SCHOOL?
Noodle School is Yamato’s intensive training program for restaurant owners and chefs who want to build a successful noodle business.
We believe that with the right tools and guidance, everyone is capable of becoming a Noodle Master.

Through this course, we teach our students how to make Japanese noodles and prepare authentic dishes from scratch.

YOUR BUSINESS PREPARATION STARTS HERE
The Yamato Noodle School was established with a goal to help business owners succeed by conducting ramen cooking classes. The ability to prepare delicious restaurant-quality Japanese noodles is a skill that is usually cultivated over years of study. Our Noodle School curriculum is specially designed to efficiently share this information with students through condensed, comprehensive noodle making and ramen cooking classes
CULTIVATING SELF-SUFFICIENCY
As part of the Yamato Noodle School program, students attend ramen cooking classes and learn how to make Japanese noodles from scratch. Preparing noodles in-house can have many advantages for your ramen business.
Often, noodles bought from mass manufacturers are filled with preservatives to keep them fresh. Additionally, these noodles are made in automated factories and lack maturation. This affects the texture and taste of the noodles and can impact the flavor of your dishes.
Preparing homemade noodles for your restaurant gives you the control to take your business to new heights.
Aside from offering cooking classes for ramen-making, Yamato Noodle School also teaches the preparation of different types of soup stocks, motodare, flavored oils, and toppings – all of which are essential to preparing authentic Japanese dishes. Learning how to prepare each of these ingredients from scratch is a promising start to cultivating total self-sufficiency and success for your ramen business.
DYNAMIC CURRICULUM
Over the years, we have refined and enriched our curriculum to fit the needs of chefs and restaurant owners. Through our ramen making classes in Yamato’s Noodle School, we offer a dynamic curriculum to deliver the knowledge and skills that are invaluable for running your own prosperous Japanese noodle restaurant. This involves a host of aspects, including the study of popular production techniques, operation and management tips, and business advice.
Through enrollment in the Yamato Noodle School, our students attend intensive ramen cooking classes and gain hands-on experience. We share tips on how to make Japanese noodles with Yamato’s restaurant equipment and discuss the differences in noodles based on various factors like types of flour, protein content, and more.
